“People say my content’s mature, I don’t think it’s mature at all. I’m just a normal 20 year old. I’m opinionated.”

I’m always happy to blow up any misconceptions that people have about stage school cos everyone thinks it’s really nasty there but it’s not.

A song marks an occasion in my life and that’s how I live my life, by songs.

Having listened to great songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King, I felt there was nothing new that was coming out that really represented me and the way I felt. So I started writing my own stuff.

I don’t listen to a lot of new stuff. I just like the old stuff. It’s all quite dramatic and atmospheric. You’d have an entire story in song. I never listen to, like, white music – I couldn’t sing you a Zeppelin or Floyd song.

I’ve got a crush on my backing singer.

Now I think that going to the gym is the best drug. I go four times a week and it gives me the buzz I need.

If I died tomorrow, I would be a happy girl.

I’m planning my most ambitious tattoo yet. You can never have enough tats.

My husband is everything to me and without him it’s just not the same.

I listen to music that is of our time and I just get angry.

I’ve had everything pierced at some point.

When I was a little kid it was my dream to go to drama school, but it was never something I thought would happen to me. I was a Jewish girl from North London and things like that don’t happen to Jewish girls from North London called Amy Winehouse.

At Age 11, I used to listen to Madonna’s Immaculate Collection every day

I would say that jazz is my own language.

I’ve always had my own style, I’ve always been different. I don’t like to wear anything that anyone else is wearing because it’s very important for me to make a statement.

I do see myself settling down, getting married and having kids. But when I think about a family life in the future there’s rarely a man involved which is kind of weird.

Nothing is so fragile as thought in its infancy; an interruption breaks it: nothing is so powerful, even to overturning empires, when it reaches its maturity.

Gratitude is a sign of maturity, Where there is appreciation: there is also courtesy and concern for the rights and property of others.

Filthy language is used by people who don’t have the maturity or intelligence to express themselves with better words.

One definition of maturity is learning to delay pleasure.

If our emotional stability is based on what other people do or do not do, then we have no stability. If our emotional stability is based on love that is changeless and unalterable, then we attain the stability of God.

Spiritual maturity is measured not by the sophistication of a person’s opinions, but by their genuineness and the courage necessary to express and maintain them.

Age’ is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years.

You become mature when you become the authority of your own life.
